3. Refer to the following captive portal policy configurations to determine whether a new policy requires
creation, or an existing policy requires edit or deletion:
4. Select Add to create a new captive portal policy, Edit to modify an existing policy or Delete to remove
an existing captive portal policy.
A Basic Configuration screen displays by default. Define the policy’s security, access and whitelist
basic configuration before actual HTML pages can be defined for guest user access.
Captive Portal Displays the name assigned to the captive portal guest access policy when
it was initially created. A policy name cannot be modified as part of the
edit process.
Captive Portal
Server
Lists the IP address (or DNS hostname) of the external (centralized) server
validating guest user permissions for the listed captive portal policy.
Captive Portal
Server Mode
Lists each policy’s hosting mode as either Internal (Self) or External
(centralized). If the mode is Internal (Self), the AP-6511 is maintaining the
captive portal internally, while External (centralized) means the captive
portal is being supported on an external server.
Connection Mode Lists each policy’s connection mode as either HTTP or HTTPS. However.
Motorola Solutions recommends the use of HTTPS, as it offers client
transmissions some measure of data protection HTTP cannot provide.
Simultaneous Users Displays the number of users permitted at one time for each listed policy.
Web Page Source Displays whether the captive portal HTML pages are maintained Internally,
Externally (on an external system you define) or are Advanced pages
maintained and customized by the network administrator. Internal is the
default setting.
AAA Policy Lists each AAA policy used to authorize client guest access requests. The
security provisions provide a way to configure advanced AAA policies that
can be applied to captive portal policies supporting hotspot authentication.
When a captive portal policy is created or modified, a AAA policy must be
defined and applied to effectively authorize, authenticate and account user
requests.
